Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…
Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

JOB OPPORTUNITY: Postdoctoral openings at the Center for Autonomous Materials Design – Duke University (Stefano Curtarolo’s group).
LOCATION: Durham, NC USA.
The group of Prof. Curtarolo at the Center for Autonomous Materials Design at Duke University, USA has open postdoctoral positions available in computational materials design. The group is at
the forefront of the development of automatic computational methods for the discovery of materials with technological applications. More information about the research can be found at aflow.org and materials.duke.edu.
Current openings are in i. autonomous thermodynamic property prediction, and ii. high-throughput
electronic structure calculations of amorphous systems.
Successful candidates should have
1) An excellent understanding of solid-state physics, thermodynamics of materials,
crystallography/group-theory, and inorganic chemistry.
2) Solid communication skills, both verbal and written.
3) Strong programming skills in C++, python, and/or Fortran, good knowledge of Unix
systems (gcc, g++, etc.), and experience using materials data repositories such as AFLOW.
4) Proven experience in VASP, Quantum Espresso, FHI-AIMS, or other ab-initio code.
5) A doctorate degree in Physics (Materials), Materials Science, Chemistry or related
disciplines. Graduate Students near completion of their Ph.D. are welcome and invited to
apply.
Potential candidates should send one PDF file named “Lastname_Firstname_DUKE_Autonomous-201909.pdf” containing: cover-letter, curriculum vitae and the names/emails/phone of three references to [email protected] by email with subject “DUKE_Autonomous_201909: Lastname Firstname”. Only PDF material will be considered.
The location of the position is Durham, NC USA. Occasional travel to Europe is required. Starting date can be negotiated. The search will continue until the positions are filled.
